PAGE POUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, MAT 17, 1935. SYNOPSIS: A telesram, sup pnsedly from her father, has tent Alison Rede scurryina to meet him at a house in the country, lie is not there, and Alison sees a hor rible person from whom she runs in terror. She runs into a muoh leas horrible person, however, ufto helps her search the house. They find nothing. Alison thinks it very queer that her father, about to re-marry, should take such a shabby house anyway. Chapter Sli DOUBT "B DT all the doors were locked! Alison said. "True." replied the stranger. "Bat ha may have left by the pantry win dow while we were down In the cel lar." Alison smiled. "You know, you're an extraordl narlly comforting person!" "Good! Then let's assume that lit tle Herbert's gone. What about get ting ourselves some coffee?" "I'll go and see It I can And some," agreed Alison. "Come on, then." Her shaken self-respect was still ore. She looked at him and said Quickly: "You needn't come. I'm all right now, honestly." "I know you are but I'd rather."" She gave way meekly, a little sur prised at yielding, for she was by no - :- wK v, t4 "It's not working," Atlion said. , moans a meek person; but there was a note of authority Id his voice which was not easily defied. A search of the kitchen yielded one smull crust of stale broad which had been sam pled and rejected by mice, an assort ment of empty gin bottles and a strong smell of cheese. The oil-stove was empty and the only kettle bad a large hole In the bottom. "Nothing doing." His laughter had a happy, friendly ring to It but now be drew no answering smile from ber, for Alison was looking at the . big white clock upon the wall. "It's past twelve. . . "I shouldn't worry he argued. Your father's probably hung up on the road." "He'd have let me know." Alison was positive on that point "How could he? These country tel ' igrapb offices shut early." "He could have telephoned." He admitted that by his silence. After a moment's thought said: "Look here, where does your father live I mean as a rule? Couldn't we get through to blm?" They went Into the drawing room, where a telephone stood on a wide kneebole desk. Alison, dialing O. thought that she had never seen quite such uninteresting furniture as thore was In this bouse. Even this piece, quite good In shape, with Its double row of deep drawors, was spoilt by being made In a cheap I in I tatlnn of old oak. 'THERB was no ringing tone. She pressed down the rest and tried once more; a dead line. "It's not working." Sbe put down the receiver slowly, staring at the young man with wide and troubled eyes. "Urn," He looked sgain at her anx lous face and suggested: "He msy have wired to put you off, you know or tell you that he couldn't get here and the post office couldn't have de livered the ni os no Re. . . ." "That's true!" She seized on the stray hope. "Your father's probably peacefully asleep by now, thinking you've had bis wire," he said, as they went back down the kitchen passage. E 10 NEW YORK (UP) This springs fold mining nuui to Mn&kt, sirdy undr way. will be a rush of ma chines rather than of men. accord ing to the National Machine Build ers' association. Great quantities of heavy mining equipment capable of working much low grade ore that only mechanical precision tn meth ods of extraction make unable, now are being shipped on order prompt ed by the current price of sas an ounce for gold. Thee machines make It possible to work with profit old claims and mines heretofore disre garded. Giant dredges, drills and other mining equipment are being taken to Alaska by steamer, placed in air planes and flown Into the interior. au4 tod&f a maa cog oovet grouua "I hadn't thought of that," she ad mitted. And with a smile, "You know you are truly a comforting person!" "My Job!" "What do you do then?" She was curious to know; she could not quite place blm. But he did not seem to hear and before she could repeat the question be said: "By the way. It might be a sound Idea to tell me your name." "Rede. Alison Rede." "Mine's Guy Westurn." There was a pause between the two words as If be bad hesitated to tell her and sbe looked at him with sudden curi osity. "Do you live down here?" "Why?" "I only wondered," explained All son, "whether I could telephone from your house." "1 haven't one. I'm only staying the night at Warley." He spoke ab sently as though he was puzzling over a problem. "Warley? But" she stopped. He had certainly said quite distinctly that he had come out for a stroll but Warley was at least six miles away and on a pouring wet night HE HAD looked at her sharply and must have guessed ber thought, for he said, "I like walking In the rain." "Six miles!" "1 know. I wasn't thinking. I I walked farther than 1 meant." Catch ing the sudden doubt In the girl's eyes he added: "1 wanted to look at this house I'm an architect, you see. and there's some Idea of buying the site so I thought I'd take a look at It" "By lantern light?" Alison thrust shrewdly. "You don't believe me?" "I'm afraid 1 don't!" "Then how's this" He was watching her with a rather queer. In tent look now. "I came down to bur gle this house" "You're a burglar?" "Professionally; though I vary It occasionally with a little murder and writing anonymous letters, or black mail" "I don't believe It!" His voice, his clear eyes, his honest, blunt, large features made It absurd. "You don't? You know, you're hard to please!" He gave a broad, engag ing grin. "I give you your choice of two perfectly good atorles and you won't accept either!" "What are you really?" "Serlousl)? 1 told you 1 am an architect I'm staying down at War ley for the night and strayed up here because I happened to be thinking rather deeply. How's that?" "All right!" She laughed. "I must believe you! But what are we going to do about It? 1 mean, we can't stay here all night, can we?" "I'm not going to leave you here alone." be objected. "I'm not staying. I'm going to And the nearest house and get on the tele phone." "At past midnight? You'll never get anyone to wake up. Beside, we're miles up on the Downs here." "Well. I'll walk Into Warley then." "Six ml let at miculght In that?" He pointed to the window where the rain was beating steadily. "You'd end up with pneumonia." "1 shouldn't. Anyway. I'd rather " She could not put Into words that deep, uncomfortable conviction that something must be far wrong. f Copyright.

"As long as we are having acci dents we are having violations of the rules of safety." a statement by the motor vehicle division said. "Far too many motorists believe that kill ing Is a part of motoring and there is nothing to do but watch It grow. Violations of the rules of safety are without any supporting reason.
